→ Our Athletics Hall of Fame honors former student-athletes, teams, varsity coaches, and athletics staff members whose accomplishments have been of the highest caliber and have contributed significantly to our proud athletics tradition. In addition to their athletics achievements, nominees must have also demonstrated sportsmanship, teamwork, and personal integrity both during their time at Pingry and throughout their lives. Selection will be based primarily on Pingry athletics accomplishments, but subsequent achievements in sports and in other areas will also be considered. 

NOTE: In order to be eligible for Athletics Hall of Fame induction, former student-athletes must have graduated at least 10 years ago and varsity coaches or athletics staff must already be retired.
